Centering of the workpiece (Fig. 12)

Centering the prepared workpiece is an important

operation to be performed before placing it into the

machine. Centering consists of measuring the middle

point of the workpiece and marking it with a center

punch.

Make a depression of 1.5 to 2 mm in the middle point.

If the workpiece has not been centered exactly, strong

vibrations will develop as a result of the imbalance. It

is possible that the workpiece could be hurled outward

as a result.

Note: Exact centering of the workpiece produces

smooth concentricity.

While working with the turner

• Work with a rough workpiece should be conducted

at low speeds.

• Only after the wood has been pre-turned (the pre-

turning operation is complete once the basic form of

the workpiece as well as an even concentricity have

been achieved) can the speed be raised.

• The live center must be readjusted from time to time

with the hand wheel. This operation only should be

performed when the motor has been turned off.The

tailstock center should rest rmly in the wood.

• Turn the workpiece by hand to check if it rests se-

cured.

Marking of the workpiece

Sometimes the workpiece has to be taken out before

it has been completed. It is advantageous to mark the

workpiece and the driver with a pencil rst.

When placing the workpiece back in the machine,

match the marks on the workpiece and the driver.

Specialized literature

Specialized shops offer appropriate specialized litera-

ture about wood turning. They can be a great help for

beginners in their work as well as a source of ideas

for experts.

m Electrical connection

The installed electric motor is completely wired ready

for operation.

The customer’s connection to the power supply sys-

tem, and any extension cables that may be used, must

conform with local regulations.

Important remark:

The motor is automatically switched off in the event of

an overload. The motor can be switched on again after

a cooling down period that can vary.

Defective electrical connection cables

Electrical connection cables often suffer insulation

damage.

Possible causes are:

• Pinch points when connection cables are run

through window or door gaps.

• Kinks resulting from incorrect attachment or laying

of the connection cable.

• Cuts resulting from running over the connecting ca-

ble.

• Insulation damage resulting from forcefully pulling

out of the wall socket.

• Cracks through aging of insulation.

Such defective electrical connection cables must not

be used as the insulation damage makes them ex-

tremely hazardous.

Check electrical connection cables regularly for dam-

age. Make sure the cable is disconnected from the

mains when checking.

Electrical connection cables must comply with the

regulations applicable in your country.

Single-phase motor

• The mains voltage must coincide with the voltage

specied on the motor’s rating plate.

• Extension cables up to a length of 25 m must have a

cross-section of 1.5 mm2, and beyond 25 m at least

2.5 mm2.

• The connection to the mains must be protected with

a 16 A slow-acting fuse.

Only a qualied electrician is permitted to connect the

machine and complete repairs on its electrical equip-

ment.

In the event of enquiries please specify the following

data:

• Motor manufacturer

• Type of current of the motor

• Data recorded on the machine’s rating plate

• Data recorded on the switch’s rating plate

If a motor has to be returned, it must always be dis-

patched with the complete driving unit and switch.

m Maintenance

• Overhauls, maintenance work, cleaning, as well as

the elimination of any malfunctions must only be un-

dertaken after turning off the motor.

• All protective and safety equipment must be rein-

stalled immediately upon completion of any repair

or maintenance work.

• Clean and lightly oil the spindle thread of the tool

holder when changing tools.

• When possible, the tail stock sleeve should be re-

moved by unscrewing it, cleaned and then sprayed

with a dry lubricant. Grease the threaded spindle.

• Check the eccentric clamp of the tailstock as well as

the tool holder and adjust if necessary. In addition,

tighten the hex nut under the bracket.

• Check the drive belt and replace when necessary.
